SHOFLogoThe Midland Sports Hall of Fame was developed to recognize and honour local builders, athletes, and teams for outstanding achievement in their fields.  Midland is proud of their sports heroes and through the hard work of the Hall of Fame Committee, these individuals are recognized through the biennial Induction Ceremony and given their rightful place in the Midland Sports Hall of Fame. 


Opened in 1996, the Midland Sports Hall of Fame was originally located at the Midland Centennial Arena and consisted of the Wall of Inductees, memorabilia displays, and the Brick Sponsorship Wall.

Builders

This category includes Officials (referees, umpires, etc.), sponsors, executives, trainers, coaches, etc., whose work for sport over an extended period of time has been outstanding, whether it be an organization of leagues and facilities, achieving a high degree of success in coaching teams and/or individuals, keeping a league or team active, providing services of a consistently high level over an extended period of time. 

Teams

Team nominations shall be considered on the merits of each team and not solely on the individual players.  The purpose is to honour and perpetuate the names and deeds of those persons, teams, and/or sponsors whose athletic endeavours brought fame to the community and to themselves and of those whose interest in, and work for, sports has resulted in a climate which benefited athletes and athletics.

Athletes

Athletes to be considered for admission to the Hall of Fame must have been (or be) outstanding in their field of endeavour and/or have achieved better than average proficiency in a number of sports even if not reaching the absolute top level in any one.  The label "outstanding" must be applicable over an extended period of time in competition against peer athletes.

The Midland Sports Hall of Fame Committee selects Inductees every two years.  The next Induction Ceremony will be held in October 2010.  Written nominations may be submitted at any time.  In order for nominees to be considered for 2008, nominations must be received no later than March 1, 2008.  Forms are available via the links below or at the North Simcoe Sports and Recreation Centre.  Categories include Athletes, Builders, Teams and Historical Sports Facilities.
